Subject: [PATCH v1] fs: hugetlb: simplify remove_inode_hugepages() return type
Date: Mon,  2 Feb 2026 23:36:16 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260202233617.2350734-1-jiaqiyan@google.com> (raw)

When remove_inode_hugepages is introduced in
commit c86272287bc6 ("hugetlb: create remove_inode_single_folio to remove single file folio")
it used to return a boolean to indicate if it bailed out due to race with
page faults. However, since the race is already solved by [1],
remove_inode_hugepages() doesn't have any path to return false anymore.

Simplify remove_inode_hugepages() return type to void, remove the
unnecessary ret variable, and adjust the call site in
remove_inode_hugepages(). No functional change in this commit.
